Abstract: 933,581. Controlling lateral canting. DAIMLER-BENZ A.G. April 4, 1962 [April 7, 1961], No. 13037/62. Class 108(2). A vehicle roll stabilizer for each pair of wheels comprises a divided transverse torsion bar the inner ends of the parts 7, 8 of which are interconnected by a fluid pressure servo-motor, for producing differential rotation of the torsion bar ends to reduce body roll, and is characterized by the provision of locking means releasable by fluid pressure only when the fluid pressure is adequate to operate the motor. The motor casing 4, Fig. 2, has two radial walls 15 (Fig. 4) and is splined to torsion bar part 7 and rotor 13 has two radial vanes 13<SP>1</SP> and forms the inner end of torsion bar part 8. The opposite pairs of chambers 16-19 formed between the vanes 13<SP>1</SP> and walls 15, are interconnected. Provided in the rotor 13 and separated by wall 3, Fig. 3, are two aligned peripheral grooves, the ends 43a, 43b of which are engaged by radial pins 46, 47 in bores in casing 4. To rotate rotor 13 clockwise relative to casing 4 chambers 17, 19 are connected to a fluid pressure source and chambers 16, 18 are connected to exhaust. Pin 46 prevents rotation until it is raised from groove 43 against the bias of spring 48 by fluid pressure communicated through bores 58, 60, 62 in the rotor from chamber 17. Fluid from the outer end of bore 50 escapes through passage 55 (Fig. 2) and chamber 16 to exhaust. The angle of rotation is limited by abutment of pin 47 with wall 3. To permit anticlockwise rotation of rotor 13 pin 47 is raised by pressure fluid communicated through bores 59, 61, 63 acting on the lower end of pin 47. The bias of springs 48 is adjustable by threaded plugs 49. The operation of the servomotor 4 may be controlled by the steering or be dependent upon centrifugal force on the vehicle and the vehicle wheels may be air sprung. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 895,095.

Abstract: 131,905. Vanet, P. Aug. 30, 1918, [Convention date]. Fluid speed-indicators.- Centrifugal fluid speed indicators are constructed so that the centrifugal effect upon liquid contained in a tube is counterbalanced by contained gases with or without an opposing force duo to gravity. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the device comprises a cranked tube a, c. d containing mercury and provided with bulbs e, f filled with inert gas. On revolution about a vertical axis x, y, the mercury falls in the limb a, c and enters the bulb e until equilibrium is established, the scale, which may be separate from the instrument, being calibrated empirically. A horizontal axis may be substituted for the vertical one x, y. Various modifications in the form of the apparatus are described in which the tube is of U or similar shape and one or both bulbs are dispensed with. By altering the section of the tube or bulb e a varied scale may be obtained. Temperature corrections are effected by means of a bimetallic member on which the scale is mounted, or by the insertion of an easily vaporizable liquid into the axial tube. In a third modification, the reservoir e is constructed of two materials such as ebonite and glass. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) comprises also a modification in which one or both limbs may be open to the atmosphere or be evacuated and a lighter liquid may be employed as an indicator.

Abstract: 986,132. Electric follow-up systems. HYDROCONIC Ltd. July 28, 1961 [April 12, 1961], No. 13202/61. Heading G1N. In a ship's telegraph system, a lever on the bridge enables the electric follow-up circuit to be disconnected and a direct mechanical link to be made between the normal control handle and the ship's prime mover. As shown (Fig. 1), movement of a control handle 2 on the bridge actuates one of a pair of micro switches 15, 16 (Fig. 5) in a selector unit 10 to energize a motor 32 which controls the throttle of the ship's prime mover and an indicator 5 in the engine room through a follow-up member for the switches, thus stopping the motor 32 when the required rotation of the shafting 3 has been achieved. The handle 2 is coupled to a shaft 12 which moves a ring member 14 (Fig. 6) carrying the two switches 15, 16 and a member 17 pivoted at 18. A stud 22 mounted on the member 17 engages in a recess 24 in a cam 23 secured to the throttle shaft 13 driven by motor 32. Rotation of the ring member 14 causes the stud to withdraw from the recess 24, rocking the member 17 and actuating one of the switches 15, 16, whereby the motor energizing circuit is closed, and the motor drives the shaft 13 and cam 23 until the stud again falls into the cam recess 24, opening the motor circuit. The throttle control shaft 13 may be operated directly by movement of the control handle 2 by operating a lever 44, thus moving rods 45 which control a first clutch 40 disengaging the motor 32, and a second clutch 41 in the selector unit 10 which couples shafts 12 and 13.
